I have been a bad blogger. It's just the way it is. I haven't logged on since my last post. Haven't played a hand. I briefly considered going to check out the live charity game scene but no follow through on that either. It happens. Maybe once golf season slows down.

Since reading my blog is a waste of time right now, maybe you should read a good blogger. Or better yet, buy a book from him. Dr. Pauly from the Tao of Poker (as opposed to the Yao of Poker) has finally published Lost Vegas. It's available from Lulu, for the link visit Pauly's site.


I got my copy a couple of weeks ago and read it in very short order. If you're a regular Tao reader you'll recognize a fair number of the stories. Even so, it's very much worth it for the tales that you hadn't heard or have forgotten. Pauly is right there in the trenches, living the life and his writing puts you squarely in the middle of the action (cliche score: 3). You'll meet the degenerates, hopefuls and total scumbags that make Las Vegas such an interesting place. You'll also read about a lot of douchebags poker players.

Buy a copy of this book. It's a win-win proposition: You support one of the hardest living working bloggers in the business and you get entertainment in return. It's a no brainer. Like me.
